Healer Pet Peeves

[Cynfael]

This one is rare, but it's happened to me.

Casters healing the tank with Physick because I'm in CS or theven tank drops to 40%. Stop wasting everyone's time. If the tank dies, tear me a new. If they don't? Screw off and let me do my job.

Even better is when the caster eats a huge amount of damage, stops to frantically self-Physick, then dies to a lethal and completely avoidable AoE while spam-healing.

Probably already said but I can't stand WAR's with obnoxious berserk macros. A simple 'berserk up' or "pacified in 20sec" is fine. I don't need to have a massive count-down or alarms and whistles blaring at me because I will ignore it. Also DPS who decide to pull, they shall receive no heals unless the tank is okay with it. Should the tank ask them to stop, I too will stop healing them.

WARs need to stop this tbh.

Oh, that's just petty. I do what I can to keep people alive as long as they haven't insulted me/tried to ruin the run, it's not like letting a DPS tank for a bit is gonna kill everyone.

Sort of. I half agree with you.

If the DPS is pulling trash, what's the reason? Generally speaking, outside it being an accident or the like, the DPS is doing it either out of spite or selfishness. The tank is either afk, going "too slow", is not "good enough", or something similar. If I notice the dps pulled onot purpose I might question their reasoning. I usually ask them afterwards, and if their reasoning is less than innocent than I refuse to them if they do it a second time.

The DPS pulling just because they want to, in spite of the rest of the team, is petty.

When my co-healer yells at me for using cleric stance.

Just because I pop on CS right near the pull doesn't mean I expect you to main heal (especially when you're a SCH). It means there's not much damage going out, so I'm using this opportunity to help out with DPS, even if it's just placing DOTs real quick. Just because I'm a WHM doesn't mean I should just stand there waiting for someone to take damage.

When my co-healer yells at me for using cleric stance.

Whaaat, people really do this? As a SCH, when my DF co-healer catches on that I'm using Eos for WD and I see the icon for Cleric in their party window slot, my heart is warmed forever.

On the other hand... I hate all the overhealing that inevitably happens in DF... it's always difficult to know which fairy to use because of this. With my AST companion I use Eos in most fights so that both of us can DPS like crazy, specially instances which can be accessed through Duty Finder. But in DF you can never really trust the other healer to DPS, which justifies Eos, nor can you trust them to solo heal, which justifies Selene. It's so complicated, really...

I'm sure its already been said but I hate when tanks pull everything and its mother......and pops ZERO CDS and just expects you to just deal with it. I don't find it a test of how good a healer I am, I find it as this tard over here doesn't even know how to do even the basics of his/her class. CDs are there for a reason, they aren't there for you to use only on a boss or when you're at 5% health. FYI Blood Price and Unleash spam isn't some magical tank CD.......

[Seoulstar]

It's more of an AST pet peeve for me. But when I do expanded balance and using my celestial opposition to increase the time..please do not overwrite my cards with your expanded spear.
